Fritz Pregl was born in Laibach* on September 3, 1869, and attended the local "Gymnasium" (grammar school), from where he proceeded to the University of Graz to study medicine.
Pregl continued with this work when he was recalled to Graz University in 1913; he was appointed Dean of the Medical Faculty for the year 1916-1917 and Vice-Chancellor of Graz University for 1920-1921.
Pregl had, in the early stages of his investigations, avoided publishing individual reports on his experiments, until he had convinced himself that his methods did not only work in his own, but also in other laboratories.

Pregl's microanalytical methods were a great contribution to chemistry, biochemistry and medical science; for his work in this field he received the 1923 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
As a result of an interest in biological substances that could only be obtained in extremely small quantities, he had to decide whether to process tons of raw materials or search for new analytical methods that would be reliable on minute quantities.
Pregl was born in Ljubljana (Slovenia) but at age 18, after the death of his father, he moved with his mother to Graz, Austria, where he received the M.D. degree in 1894.

The prize turned out to be extremely successful at singling out young scientists who later became acknowledged leaders in their scientific fields: four of the awardees, Fritz Pregl, Otto Loewi, Karl von Frisch and Viktor Hess went on to win the Nobel Prize.
The Lieben Prize was on the verge of becoming one of the indirect casualties of the great inflation in 1923 when the capital for this award was lost.
While the prize had reflected the diversity and the scientific potential within the monarchy and amongst its peoples, its abandonment bore witness to the closing of the Austrian mind and to the destruction of the country’s intellectual wealth which would be irreversible for decades to come.
